GPAC
The Graduate and Professional Allocation Committee (GPAC), a committee of ECGPS, is in charge of distributing all funding for student organizations in the University of Iowa graduate schools. GPAC will review and recommend funding for any student organization that applies, however preference is first given to events that are of interest to primarily Graduate and Professional Students.
To apply for supplemental funding, student organizations must be recognized by the UI Office of Student Life. This can be done by completing the following steps:
